No.6 Coastguard Cottages

Shingle Street, Suffolk Coast

"This is an inspired place. Glad to see it hasn't changed too much since our last visit. It feels more like a home than a holiday cottage". Mrs M, Lancaster. Sept/Oct 2009.

No. 6 Coastguard Cottages stands facing the sea at Shingle Street - apart from the sound of the waves and cries of the gulls it is magically quiet. Furnished and decorated in an artisan's style, the cottage is cosy and comfortable'.

A strip of shingle beach, the coast in front, the entrance to the river Alde on the left. A couple of dozen cottages, a Napoleonic martello tower and a coastguard station. This is Shingle Street.

No. 6 Coastguard Cottage enjoys stunning views eastwards across the sea and westwards across ancient grazing meadows towards Hollesley village.

The end of a row of Victorian cottages, the cottage has the use of the owner's tennis court.

Furnished and decorated in an artisan's style, the kitchen and bathroom have been fully refurbished for 2008. The cottage furniture remains basic, nevertheless it is cosy and comfortable.
